Child of The Darkness

Chapter 13

As both Audrey and Bendy entered the city, they were met with the sound of what sounded like old timey music playing, music which sounded like it came straight out of the 1940s, even the city itself, that looked as if it was also stuck in the 1940s despite it being 1973.

"Alright, the gent building must be around here somewhere" Audrey pointed out "let's start looking." Bendy reluctantly nodded and the pair began lucking around the city.

After searching for some time, the pair finally found the entrance to the gent building, and the first thing that Audrey noticed was that there was a security lock which required an I.D card to access.

"Oh man, it's security locked" Audrey exclaimed, turning round to face Bendy who was nervously playing his fingers "we need an I.D card to get inside." Just as the pair of them were about to start looking around for an I.D card, a lost one that had appeared out of nowhere came running towards the pair.

"Here now, what ya think ya doing?" they asked in what sounded like an Irish accent "you're not thinking about going in the old gent building are ya?"

"Well, yes" Audrey replied as Bendy shifted nervously at the side of her.

"Now why would a nice little girl like yaself wanna go in there?" the Irish lost one asked whilst Bendy looked at the young girl, his facial expression clearly indicating the same thing that the lost one was asking "don't ya know that those who enter never come back out again, ya got no idea what exactly is in there."

"But I need to get in there" Audrey stated " I need to find out exactly what's going on with this place, and I was told that the gent workshop had some and besides, I can run pretty fast, I'm sure whatever is in there won't be able to catch me, and it can't be any worse than what I've already encountered. So, won't you help us?"

Despite telling the Irish speaking lost one that she wasn't scare, Audrey knew deep down that she was infact scared of going into the gent workshop, but she knew that she had to get some answers, also, she still felt rather feverish, almost like she was developing some kind of cold and if that was the case, then it would most likely be impossible for her to outrun whatever threat lurked inside.

"Well, alright, if ya really wanting to find out some answers, then I guess I can since I know where ya can find an I.D card" the Irish lost one replied " but I still don't think this is a good idea."

Despite not thinking that it wasn't a good idea for Audrey to go inside, the Irish lost one lead both her and Bendy through what seemed to be an abandoned meat store, down a back alleyway until they reached another part of the city where various lost ones were walking around, a small group of them huddled in a corner around some kind of campfire, another one seemed to be drunk and trying to pick a fight with another. Audrey could feel Bendy clinging to her nervously, it was clear that this part of the city unnerved the little toon.

"I know, I'm scared too" Audrey replied, understanding his gesture.

"Ya, this be the rough part of town" the Irish Lost one stated "just follow me and don't make eye contact with the others." He then lead the pair of them through the rough part of the city until they reached what looked to be an abandoned hotel.

"Alright, this is it" he said as the three of them walked inside the hotel "ya wanting an I.D card, then this is where ya can find one" he then quickly slipped out, clearly not wanting to be part of Audrey's plan any further, leaving the child and the toon alone.

"Well, looks like we have to find it on our own now Bendy" Audrey said as the small toon sat on a nearby couch whilst Audrey looked around to see if she could find any I.D card, however, she was unable to find one "Okay, it isn't down here, maybe there's one upstairs in one of the rooms, so we'll have to check there."
